- Opportunities to control the demand side of the drug shortage equation
- All workflows in the electronic health record (EHR) driving usage of specific medications
- All clinicians who are ordering, prescribing and dispensing medications in short supply – so pharmacy leadership can intervene accordingly
- Visibility and capability to manage inventory
- Documentation of all changes to the EHR, allowing pharmacy teams to easily evaluate when to return to previous workflows once the shortage has passed
Thousands of hospital pharmacists depend on our software because it reveals:
- Detailed usage patterns
- Individual top users
